Cant make a url variable in CS6

I hope someone can help me...
I'm attempting to add a url variable binding to a PHP document, but after each time I open the menu, type in my name and press OK, it does not show up in my Bindings box.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Can you pass an array URL variable

Hi,
Doing a form which I want to validate, then re-display with
error messages and the keyed data still in place should there be
errors, or go onto a second form if all ok.
I have tried to use <form
action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" but as the various
outcomes result in different screens I can't see how to do it
without having reams of duplicate code - I couldn't make it work
satisfactorily anyway.
So I decided to do it in two stages - form (user screen) + a
separate validation routine which passes validation results back if
there are errors by calling the first screen but with URL variables
to trigger process variations or go onto screen 2 if all ok.
But I'm struggling with this .. two questions:
i) Ideally I would like to use a session variable to pass
actual error messages back to screen one in the event of errors but
if I undertand things correctly (which is by no means certain)
$S_Session is already an associatve array so it wouldn't be so easy
to just add a variable number of messages to it and then know what
you are unpacking elsewhere ... do you know what I mean?
Perhaps if I give you my second question it may help
illustrate what I'm going on about in part 1
ii) The way I have tried to do it is to set it up as an array
($ERRORS) in the validation module and then added a text string
each time I hit a specific error. The hope was that I could then
send this back via the URL for further process but I'm getting
syntax problem so maybe this is not possible .... a brief example
Input Form php:
$ERRORS = array();
$ERRORS = $_GET['errors']
if (sizeof($ERRORS) > 0) {
echo "<p class=\"val_err_hdr\"> *** Validation
error(s) - please correct the entries and try again ***
</p>";
blah blah
Validation php:
$ERRORS=array();
if(!$loginFoundUser) {
$ERRORS[] = "This e-mail address entered has already been
registered on our database - if you have already registered you
can"; }
header("Location: input.form.php?errors=$ERRORS");
When I run this I get a syntax error 'unexpected T_IF' on the
'sizeof'' function condition.
Any help much appreciated.

OK, quite common.
> I have tried to use <form

Avoid short open tags, they are unreliable. Use "<?php
print " instead
of just "<?=" to be safe and independent from the server
configuration.
>but as the

What's a "screen" in this case? Just another part of the form
or a
completely different page?

Don't use URL parameters in such a form processing scenario.
Use a
session instead, that's what they are for. The length of URLs
is limited
and there are things you simply don't want to pass between
pages, but
keep on the server instead.

The $_SESSION array itself is strictly associative, the used
indexes
must be strings or the serialization of the session data will
fail.
But if course you can always do things like this:
$_SESSION['errors'] = array();
$_SESSION['errors'][] = 'something went wrong';

As said above - use the session instead.
> Input Form php:
> $ERRORS = array();
> $ERRORS = $_GET['errors']
There's a ';' missing at the EOL (this causes the error you
mentioned
below).
Just a naming hint: Variables should not be named all
uppercase (except
for the predefined superglobal arrays). Such names should be
reserved
for constants. The most common style looks like this:
myNiceFunction()
$myNiceVariable
MY_NICE_CONSTANT
> if (sizeof($ERRORS) > 0) {
if (!empty($_SESSION['errors'])) {
> header("Location: input.form.php?errors=$ERRORS");
The Location URI must be absolute including scheme and
hostname. This is
required by the HTTP spec:
header("Location:
http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST
But I'm still not sure why you would need this redirect. The
entire
handling of a form (validation, processing) can be done on a
single
page. Only if the processing succeeds, you might want to
redirect to
some result page.

Using URL variable to set initialy selected ds row

Hello everyone,
Could anybody suggest a solution or point me to a working
demo of a script that processes a URL variable and set the current
row accordingly. I am trying to pass a @id of a particlar row in a
URL variable to identify a particluar row, I want to be selected
initially.
Thanks,
Nick

Hy guys,
Just figured it out myself. Here is the script:
<script type="text/javascript">
// define your datasource. I have called it dsGallery. This
name is used later in the script a few times
var dsGallery = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("gallery.xml",
"/gallery/photos/photo");
dsGallery.addObserver({ onPostLoad: function(ds, type) {
var strReturn = "";
var strHref = window.location.href;
if ( strHref.indexOf("?") > -1 ){
var strQueryString =
strHref.substr(strHref.indexOf("?")).toLowerCase();
var aQueryString = strQueryString.split("&");
for ( var iParam = 0; iParam < aQueryString.length;
iParam++ ){
if (
aQueryString[iParam].indexOf('id' + "=") > -1 ){
var aParam = aQueryString[iParam].split("=");
strReturn = aParam[1];
// look if a row with a matching @id is present in the
datasource
var row = dsGallery.findRowsWithColumnValues({"@id":
strReturn}, true);
// If we have a matching row, make it the current row for the
data set.
if (row) dsGallery.setCurrentRow(row.ds_RowID);
break;
</script>
Thanks to the folks whose scrips were really helfull in
building this one.

Using wildcards in URL variables (very simple question, i know)

Hi all!
Pulling my hair out over this... How do I use wildcards in URL variables? I have this code in compositionReady (which is working):
var myurl = "http://www.mydomain.com/sub1/sub2/pagename";
var currenturl = window.location
if(myurl == currenturl) {
sym.getSymbol("symbolname").play();
It simply makes the symbol "symbolname" play when the current URL matches the variable 'myurl'. However, I want the symbol to play on ALL subpages to http://www.mydomain.com/sub1/sub2/ and therefore it seems logical to put in a wildcard like:
http://www.mydomain.com/sub1/sub2/* or something similar, but I just can't seem to make it work??
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Thomas

What about this ?
var mysubdomain = "http://www.mydomain.com/sub1/sub2/";
var currenturl = window.location.toString();
if(currenturl.indexOf(mysubdomain) === 0) {
sym.getSymbol("symbolname").play();

Dynamic list to generate url variable

Hello, I am using a dynamic list to pull product codes from a
database. I then want to pass the code into a url variable when it
goes to the results page. This is so customers can chose which code
they want to go to a detail page about. I already have the dynamic
list working, I just can not figure out how to embed the selected
code into a url variable. For example I want it to do the
following:
sitename.com/search.php <--- here is where you start and
make the selection then it brings you to:
sitename.com/details.php?code=202 <---- code202 was
selected on previous page in dynamic list.
I know how to do it by pulling results from a database and
generating links for each one, but I need to do it from a dynamic
drop down list.
Here is the coding that I was trying to use:
Thank you for your assistance.

Sorry, dumb error on my part. Used method=post rather then

How to use url variables?

for example: www.blah.com/blah.php?id=1
in this case, the url variable passed is id with a default value 1.
what I am trying to do is to make the webpage display different things depend on the id value.
so, a basic syntax problem... is this the correct way to do this?
<body>
     switch (id)
          case 1: echo("something");
          case 2: echo("something else");
etc
(or am I missing some dollar sign or something?)
also, how do i declare a variable in the body?
just...
int someVar;
like in java? or?

Just so you'll know, such questions are more suited for the AppDev forum -
http://forums.adobe.com/community/dreamweaver/dreamweaver_development
I'll answer here, but in the future, new threads should be begun over there.
Assuming PHP, in the head of the page you would have -
<?php
$id = isset($_GET['id'])?$_GET['id']:FALSE; // This loads the variable $id with the value of the URL variable
?>
Then you could have -
<body>
<?php
switch ($id) {
          case '1':
               echo("something");
               break;
          case '2':
               echo("something else");
               break;
?>
(I forget whether that value is passed as a string or a number, so you may have to adjust the case statements.)

PHP URL Variable from Insert Record Issue

I have a very simplistic forum style website I have put together. Everything is functionally properly except for one aspect. The basic structure is a page that lists the existing threads (ie: ThreadA, ThreadB, and ThreadC). I have the name of these threads stored in a MySQL database table that is used to generate a repeating dynamic table to grow as the number of threads increases. If the user clicks on one of these links they are taken to a page that displays all of the comments pertaining to that thread. All of the comments are stored in another MySQL database table. I perform a query on this comments page to filter the information in the comments database by the thread name which is passed over from the first page via a URL variable. The link attached to the name of the thread in the repeating table that generates the URL variable is "comments.php?thread=<?php echo $row_threads['threadName']; ?>" This works perfectly, If the user clicks on ThreadB they are taken to the comments page where only the comments pertaining to ThreadB have been filtered and displayed. After the user inserts a comment form ThreadB the comments page reloads displaying the newly created comment.
Also, on the first page, the user has the option to create a new thread; call it ThreadD. The name of this new thread has to be inserted into two tables; one in the master threads table and one in the comments page any time someone adds a comment. (I'm sure there is a better way to structure this, but this was all I could figure out and for my purposes at hand it is sufficient). When the user is taken to this new comment page I have a query set up to pull the last entry in the threads table from the logged in user, ie the newly created thread topic. I have dragged this query to the page to make sure it is pulling the correct thread heading, and it works just fine. What I'm wanting to have happen is after the user enters the first comment I'm wanting them to be redirected to the main comments page with their new comment listed; giving the illusion that the new comment and existing comments page are the same. I'm trying to pass the newly created thread name, ThreadD, in the URL to the main comments page just like I do if they select it from the existing threads page. Under the insert record wizard I click the 'browse' button to select the comments.php page. I then select 'parameters' to add the thread name query as the URL parameter. The generated code is "comments.php?thread=" . $row_threadName['threadName'] . "". The user does go to the main comments page but the URL variable is not coming with it. What I'm left with in the address bar is ..."/comments.php?thread=&" , but it should be ..."comments.php?thread=ThreadD". I tried copying and pasting the URL link from the existing threads page since that works perfectly, and when I do that the main comments page shows up blank after being redirected from the new comments page. If I hard code this, for testing purposes, into the redirect after insertion section (ie: "comments.php?thread=ThreadD") everything works perfectly and the URL in the address bar of the main comments page is "...comments.php?thread=ThreadD&" I noticed the extra "&", but didn't give it much thought since the site is giving me the behavior I'm looking for. My question is, how do I get this new comment page to pass the variable of the newly created thread name to the main comments page to behave like it does when the thread is selected from the list of existing threads? I know it has to do with how the URL variable is either being generated or built from my query, or how I have it listed in the redirect section of the insert wizard, but I can't figure out where I am going wrong. Please let me know if there are any questions or if I need to clarify any aspect. Any and all help is always appreciated. Thank you.

Ok, so just to summarize so I am understanding this correctly. You have an ordering page for tires/wheels. A customer places an order for tires/wheels and the data is submitted successfully and this includes a symbol for measurement (in.). But on another summary page the symbol is returning a blank value.
If this is correct we need to see:
- First, the code that is inserting the symbol to the database table in question
- Second, the query and code where you are printing the data to the screen.

Pass a url variable to javascript for drop down menu

Hello,
I'm in over my head as far as javascript goes. This is what I
am trying to do. I have this URL...
http://www.grasshorse.com/prod2.cfm?SortBy=all&ProdAbbr=shm
I want to take the variable for ProdAbbr which in this case
is "shm" and make that a variable in javascript. So that I can add
the variable to a dynamic link I'm using for a drop down menu.
mm_menu_0520211545_0.addMenuItem("All Departments","location='prod.cfm?SortBy=all&ProdAbb r=eval(ProdAbbr)'");
I really have no clue what to do. I haven't hardly used
javascript at all and I'm looking for some charity. Does anyone
have any ideas on how I can do this?
Thanks
Steve
Any insight is greatly appreciated.

How do I pass value to 'getURL' url variable

Howdy,
I`m trying to launch a popup from a flash form using MX 7
The popup works fine but I cant for the life of me work out how to pass 'theid' value to the url variable for the popup window.
I think somthing like this can be done with action script and maybe a cfc but I really dont know how.
You will notice I referenced 'theid' value directly, I know this will never work but just wanted to show what i was trying to acheive. If I were using a HTML form I could use some javascrip to get the element by id and append the value to the url. Is there away to do this in action script?
<cfform format = "flash">
<cfsavecontent variable="ticketpopup">
getURL("javascript:window.open('supportdetails.cfm?id=#theid#' , 'TicketDetails', 'width=900,height=630, Scrollbars=1, resizable=0'); void(0);"); </cfsavecontent>
<cfselect name="selectbox" query="thequery" value="id" display="whatever"></select>
<cfinput type="hidden" name="theid" bind="{selectbox.selectItem.data}">
<cfinput type="button" name="mybutton" value="whatever" onClick="#ticketpopup#>
</cfform>
Any help, much appreciated :-)
Thanks

I answered my own question, heres is a solution if anyone is interested..
You can add the following actionscript to the onChange attribute of the select box. Its passes the value of the selected index to the URL and opens in a new window :-)
No there is no need for a hidden field or a button either
<cfform format ="flash">
<cfselect name="name" query="thequery" value="thevalue" display="whatever">
onChange="getUrl('supportdetails.cfm?ticketnumber=' + categorysubject.dataProvider[categorysubject.selectedIndex]['data'],'_blank');
</cfselect>
</cfform>

Unable to get URL Variable

I've seen many posts about URL Variables, and I've tried implementing the solutions, but nothing seems to be working, so I'm hoping that someone out there might be able to help me with my situation.
I have built a JSP page in JDeveloper. The page must identify the visitor using an id (passed as a url variable) as well as an account_id entered by the user on the page. I've created a procedure in my ModuleImpl.java file that receives both the url variable and account_id and then calls a pl/sql transaction I've created in the database.
Thing is, if I take the procedure, which I've allowed to be shared to the Client interface, and plop it on my JSP Page, I get two inputs, one for the account_id and one for the url variable, meaning the user has to enter the url variable in the field for the procedure to work.
I've tried modifying the value of the field and setting it equal to #{param.id}, but when I run the page, the input becomes a display field and is not sent to my java procedure. I've also tried the FacesContext way of getting a url parameter, but I can't get that to work in my java file.
What I would like to have (or at least what my intensions were when I started this project) is to have the url variable field be hidden and automatically populated with the url variable so that when the customer enters their account_id and clicks submit, both the account_id and url variable are passed.
Any idea on how to implement something like this?

You can try setting the value of the parameter in the
pagedef.xml file for your page directly using
expression language.Thanks for your reply! I did that, or at least I think I did. Here is the NameData tag in my pagedef.xml file:
<NamedData NDName="web_hash" NDType="java.lang.String"
NDValue="${bindings.save_new_password_web_hash}"/>
what I've tried doing, is changing the NDValue to the three values below, all of which didn't work (returned null):
NDValue ="${param.id}"
NDValue ="#{param.id}"
NDValue ="${facesContext.externalContext.requestParameterMap['id']}"
is there a different expression I should be using?
Also, I will take a look at the solution you likend to.

Any way to add a URL variable to EVERY SINGLE url in the site, all at once?

Hi,
I'm managing a web application, and we're looking at changing from using cookies, to passing session variables in every HTTP request to maintain session information.
So basically, I have a variable that needs to be appended to every single URL in the entire site - not just in links, but in cflocation tags etc.
Is there any way to just ADD information to the end of every URL, without otherwise CHANGING anything in that URL?
This site is hand-coded, but I have access to Dreamweaver CS3, so I thought I'd ask if it was possible - it'd save me a bunch of time!
Thanks,
Joe

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I am familiar with DW's basic find/replace functions, but I don't think it'll work in this case.
See, the URL's are almost ALL unique. Many of them already include other URL variables... This is a pretty server-intensive web application, with a lot of data manipulation and database reads/writes.
So I was hoping for a function that could find all URL's (it could just look for a string containing .cfm), and append the code to include one more variable to the URL.
I see there's a way to use a regex in the find/replace tool, but it'd probably take me as long to write and debug the regex as it'd take to manually mod the URLs lol.
Thanks for any ideas!

Url variable doesn't work in IE

You don't need any IE hack. I have just tested the page in both FF and IE8. It works just fine in both.
However, it's very noticeable from your error log that it refers to inventory.php (all lowercase), whereas the actual page is Inventory.php (initial cap). The other thing that's noticeable is the path, which indicates your server is running on Linux, which is case-sensitive.
From this, I conclude that you originally coded the page using inventory.php, and later updated it. This suggests that IE8 is probably still using a cached version. Clear your cache, and the problem will probably go away.
